“…In the Oulu times, the areas of interest included interactive and autonomous control of robots and mobile working machines (for example Pieskä, Elsilä & Vähä 1988;Pieskä, Mäkynen, Kostamovaara, Elsilä, & Myllylä 1989;Pieskä, Heikkilä, Riekki, Taipale, Känsälä & Röning 1991). These topics also continued to be interesting in the applied research projects of this study.…”

“…The demonstration of easy robot programming technology is saved in the CENTRIA virtual digital media library and it can also be seen in YouTube (search centriard). The idea of external measurement device based interaction in robot programming is not new (Halme, Heikkilä, Torvikoski 1987;Hasegawa 1982;Manninen 1984;Pieskä et al 1988), but in the 1980s there was lack of feasible measurement devices, lack of computer power and industrial robot control systems were at that time not open enough for external programming. VTT has also recently been developing a method based on an interactive 3D sensor system for robotic applications (Heikkilä, Ahola, Viljamaa, Järviluoma 2010).…”

Most of the positioning and navigation systems developed for construction machines have been focused on satisfying 2D navigation requirements. In this paper, a system is proposed for continuous and accurate tracking of a bulldozer or corresponding moving machine. Tracking is based on 3D coordinate determination using a time -of-flight laser range finder and angle encoders as a measuring head and optical reflectors attached to the machine. Tracking is accomplished by illuminating the cooperative target with an infrared emitting diode (IRED) or laser diode and focusing the reflected light on a surface of a position sensitive detector (PSD). Preliminary tests of the technique have been performed in a bulldozer's real working environment at a cellulose mill and have been promising : an angle resolution of about 200 Arad is achievable in a measurement range of up to 100 -150 in using a spherical target constructed of highly reflective tape attached to the machine and a cw laser diode (8 mW) as the transmitter.
